FAQ

Questions we are
asked most often

Short, direct answers on what automation can do, what it costs, and how an engagement runs.

If your question is not here, write and ask

How can I automate registrations for my business?

An online form collects the details and documents, applies your rules such as fee bands or eligibility, confirms to the applicant by email or WhatsApp within seconds, and writes every entry to a single register. Nobody retypes anything.

What business processes are worth automating first?

Start with a task that is repetitive, rule-based and frequent. Enquiry follow-up, the daily report assembled from several systems, intake forms and approval routing are the usual starting points. One process working within two weeks convinces people more than a large programme.

Do I need AI to automate my business processes?

Usually not. Forms, reminders, reports and record keeping are fixed steps, and keeping them fixed makes them cheaper, quicker and identical every time. AI earns its place where the work involves language or judgement, such as answering questions from your documents or taking a telephone call.

What does it cost to run?

Self-hosted on open-source software there is no charge per task, so the running cost does not climb as usage grows. In most cases it is the price of a small server. Build work is quoted once the scope is agreed.

Will it work with the tools we already use?

Yes. Systems connect through APIs and webhooks to email, WhatsApp Business, Google Workspace, spreadsheets, CRM and billing tools. The automation sits between the systems you already run, so nothing needs replacing.

How does a project run?

It starts with a conversation about the process, including its exceptions. From that we agree a written scope. Once the scope is settled and the contract signed, the build begins. On delivery you receive the system and its documentation, along with support for the period agreed during scoping.

What happens if something breaks?

Runs are logged, so a failure can be traced to the step and the record it stopped on. Support runs for the period agreed during scoping. After that you can call us as needed, or keep a standing arrangement.

Who owns the system?

You do. The workflows, the code, the documentation and the accounts are yours, and the software underneath is open source. If you part company with us, nothing stops working.
